1969 Chevrolet Camaro Indy Pace Car RS/SS

Description

Chevrolet has achieved many milestones throughout its decades of motorsports dominance. From simple, strait-line dragsters to meticulous, mid-engine endurance racers, the bowtie brand has made a serious habit of enjoying the spoils of victory -- an addiction that seems natural since, after all, the marque was both founded by and named after a scrappy race car driver. Over the years, that on-track excellence has grown beyond cars and drivers to include engineering and support roles. Not only has Chevy won at Indy, it's had the honor of pacing The Greatest Spectacle In Racing more times than any other manufacturer. And, among the marque's line-up of esteemed Indianapolis 500 Pace Cars, perhaps no model is more revered than the 1969 Camaro. That's why cars like this lovingly preserved drop-top are so cool! The beneficiary of acute restoration, this all-American icon wraps a smooth 350/3-speed drivetrain in acclaimed aesthetics that are guaranteed to stand out in a sea of Cranberry Red Chevelles. Looking for a unique, factory-spec classic that commands attention? Check out this awesome Camaro!

STRIPES AND FLAGS

One of 3,675 1969 Camaro Pace Cars produced, this authentic, fully documented drop-top has benefitted from a lifetime of great service and focused restoration. Naturally, the car's cosmetic bits have been freshened and replaced over the years while its undercarriage has remained largely original. A sculpted profile shines bright Dover White paint under a fresh top, striking decals and requisite Hugger Orange Rally Stripes. All expected Rally Sport trim is present and accounted for, from the trick grille and aggressive spoilers to the ornate louvers and optional lighting. Details like polished mirrors, small bumper guards, a ZL2 hood and removable flag supports add subtle retro spice. And today, this wholesome Z11 combines storied Chevrolet performance with the kind of old school MoTown style that literally defines the golden age of American muscle!

SS350

Pushing stout 10.25 to 1 compression into a solid 300 horsepower straight from the factory, this Super Sport's 350 cubic inch Turbo-Jet V8 is clean, classic and ready to rumble! That engine funnels power to a tough Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission, which spins a familiar 12-bolt axle. That spry drivetrain rolls on a fully sorted suspension that's been serviced as needed. At the edges of those bones, factory power steering joins power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide greatly improved handling. Fried dinosaurs travel through a fresh, true-dual exhaust system that's complete with a correct, transverse muffler and polished stainless tips. And torque meets the pavement through stainless-trimmed Rally Wheels, which twist F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas Custom Wide Treads.

HOUNDSTOOTH AND HUGGER

Open this F1's decaled doors and you'll find a Deluxe Orange Houndstooth interior that's, well, to put it bluntly, much cooler than anything found in modern cars. That handsome cockpit is centered on fresh bucket seats that are finished with factory headrests. At the front of those thrones, a dressed dash hangs factory telemetry next to controls for Frigidaire air conditioning and a Delco AM/FM radio. At the base of that dash, fade-free carpet floats monochromatic mats between Deluxe door panels and a factory console that's finished with 4-pack gauges and a Horseshoe Shifter. And the driver turns a requisite Super Sport steering wheel.

Featuring handsome aesthetics, solid restoration and a rockin' drivetrain, this choice F-Body is the ideal car for cruising AND showing. And if you're in the market for some timeless muscle with an unbeatable combination of style and performance, it's a perfect candidate for your next classic!
